A word from Bible

Today I am listening to an audio Bible lecture. There is a word that constantly crops up which I don't know. It sounds like 'cabinet' and is used in this way: the 'cabinet' between God and men.
What the hell is this word and what does it mean?
Thanx

I am sure that you mean "covenant" which means a mutual and solemn agreement.

That's it.

I installed some covenants last week in my kitchen.

I thought this was going to be a preachy post.

Damn. And I was ready to offend someone's faith.
